Ansible Role: google_chrome

This Ansible role installs Google Chrome on Linux systems.

Requirements

To maintain idempotence (ensuring that applying the same configuration multiple times does not change the system after the first application), this role downloads the GPG key into /usr/share/keyrings/ without modifying it on Debian-based systems. The key in this format is only usable with SecureApt version 1.4 or later, as noted in the documentation.

Role Variables

• google_chrome_state: Set to present to ensure the Google Chrome package is installed.

• google_chrome_gpg_key_url: The URL for the Google Chrome GPG key: https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

• google_chrome_gpg_key_fingerprint: The fingerprint for the GPG key: 4CCA1EAF950CEE4AB83976DCA040830F7FAC5991

• google_chrome_rpm_repository_url: The URL for the Google Chrome RPM repository: https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64

• google_chrome_apt_repository_url: The URL for the Google Chrome APT repository: deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/google-chrome.asc] https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
